This kitchen remodel is part of a whole house remodel that we designed for our wonderful client Wanda Kristjanson. With the help of our structural engineer John Nissen, we were able to open up the kitchen into the dining/living room, add vertical space and give Wanda the island that she always wanted. We were able to remove the wall between the kitchen and the dining area and create a large island with seating for guests. We also relocated a fireplace that had been inhibiting space in the existing kitchen (see before picture) Acacia wood flooring coupled with horizontal grain bamboo cabinets are offset by a striking black mosaic tile backsplash.
Perfect for entertaining as well as daily living, Wanda's wonderful kitchen is a good example of how your surroundings can significantly impact your level of happiness. Wanda is happy and that makes me happy!
